SAGlobal recognized as the Winner of the2018 Microsoft Dynamics 365 forTalent Partner of the Year Award

Roadmap includes a user ‘persona’ approach to drive ease of use and new Client Matter Inception module

26 March 2019, SAGlobal Europe HQ

SAGlobal today announced an accelerated product roadmap for the LexisOne Practice Management Solution. SAGlobal Group CEO, Stephen James, said, “We aim to provide a comprehensive, end-to-end solution across all aspects of modern Practice Management and Enterprise Relationship Management. Today’s announcement is the result of the successful merger and collaboration of LexisOne and SAGlobal. We have coupled SAGlobal’s expertise on Microsoft platform capabilities in Mobile, PowerApps and BI, with LexisOne’s deep legal domain knowledge, to dramatically accelerate the creation of a fully integrated and complete solution.”

Commenting on the ease of use being an important factor in the user adoption story of enterprise software, Stephen continued to say, “The Dynamics 365 finance solution is an incredibly powerful finance and billing solution, which is very well-designed and adapted for back office and finance staff. For fee-earning and support staff, our technical strategy is based on a ‘persona’ approach, whereby they can leverage an intuitive modern graphical environment, which is consumable via a variety of means, including mobile, workflow and portal technology. Microsoft terms this as the “Intelligent Edge”.

Ease-of-use, integrated functionality and the cloud platform continue to be our key differentiators. We are building a solution that fully leverages the finance and billing capabilities of Dynamics 365, along with the ease-of-use and productivity of the Microsoft Cloud business platform.

First on the product road map is a module for Client Matter Inception (CMI), which we plan to release early summer 2019. Along with CMI, SAGlobal will also be releasing an entirely new mobile timesheet solution that is based on the PowerApps platform, available across iOS, Android and browser formats. This solution will be competitive with the best of breed applications from well-known vendors in the space and is fully integrated with the back-office Finance and Business Intelligence suite. The initial version will incorporate core timesheet capabilities, while the later versions will leverage advanced capabilities such as AI, to auto-populate the data.

Finally, we are also working on integrating and adapting our existing BI platform from the ’Projects+’ solutions for professional services firms. This work will quickly add a complete range of over 30 operational, financial and KPI reports to LexisOne.”

While SAGlobal as a company is a newcomer in the legal software arena, the product LexisOne is based on deep legal expertise. We believe our Dynamics 365 pedigree, together with LexisOne’s knowledge in the legal domain will change the perception and position us as a real player in the sector.

SAGlobal will be hosting a breakfast briefing on Dynamics 365 in the Legal market at Microsoft's Paddington offices, 23rd May, 2019. For further information on the LexisOne product roadmap and the overarching Legal360 offering, please pre-register your attendance here as seats are limited.

The addition of LexisOne practice management solution to the Legal360 product suite will dramatically change the landscape of the law firm practice management and time & billing marketplace.

Atlanta, GA – March 4, 2019

SAGlobal® announced today that they have completed the acquisition of the LexisOne® practice management solution from LexisNexis®. The acquisition becomes part of their Legal360® offering to create a new leader in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Practice Management, Finance & Accounting and Business Development solutions for law firms.

Built on the award-winning Microsoft Dynamics 365 platform, LexisOne is a fully integrated business management suite providing practice management, time and billing, accounting, and human resource management capabilities. By using a single system for everything from time recording and matter management, to HR and procurement, LexisOne helps leading law firms differentiate on service, optimize their operations, empower their employees, and gain real-time insights across their firm.

“This is exciting because it is a solution built on top of Microsoft’s proven Dynamics 365 for Finance & Operations (formerly Dynamics AX) platform and places it in the hands of Microsoft’s leading global partner in the professional services sector", stated Stephen James, Global CEO for SAGlobal. “We believe law firms are looking for a new alternative and Microsoft, SAGlobal and LexisOne can deliver this alternative. There are tens of thousands of large companies running their businesses on this platform and we are fully prepared to offer this next generation solution to law firms.”

SAGlobal Americas CEO, Whit McIsaac explained why this should matter to law firms, stating “The law firm practice management marketplace is dominated by two legacy suppliers with older technology, and they are not architected for the cloud. The convergence of SAGlobal, Legal360 and LexisOne places the development of a best-in-class practice management solution in the right hands. We have experience with the platform as well as dedicated development, consulting, delivery and support teams. We also have deep legal industry expertise, a series of complimentary legal software products, the global reach and the strong Microsoft relationship necessary to make this successful.”

“I have worked closely with both LexisNexis and SAGlobal for over 8 years”, stated Patrick Fitzhenry, Microsoft Dynamics’ Global ISV Partner Director. “The combination of these law firm technologies, along with other Microsoft solutions such as Office365, provides the first ever end-to-end total solution for law firms based entirely on the Microsoft platform. This is truly a game changer for the legal market.”
